Important Safety Instructions!
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to persons, including the following:
 The base unit is NOT waterproof. Do not use or place the base unit
near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
 If the base unit falls into the water, unplug both the AC adapter
and the telephone cord before removing it from the water. After
you remove the base from the water, contact Customer Service
(see the front cover for contact information).
 Wipe excess water off of the handset before returning it to the
base.





Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak near the actual leak.
Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Do not place the handset in any charging cradle without the
battery installed and the battery cover securely in place.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
CAUTION! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type! Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Disconnect
the battery before shipping this product.
For more details, see the Important Information section.
Understanding the Waterproof Handset
 The handset complies with JIS7 water submersion specifications. It




can remain submerged under 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes
without damage or loss of functionality.
If the handset falls into the water, just remove it; you can continue
using the handset as normal.
The handset will still receive calls even if it is under water, but you
probably won’t be able to hear the ringer or the earpiece. To avoid
any accidents, do not try to use the handset while it is still under
water.
If you notice that the sound is distorted after your handset was
submerged in water, there might still be water around the speaker
and microphone. Just shake the handset to clear the water, and the
sound should return to normal.
Don’t place the handset where it will be subjected to direct
sunlight for long periods of time.
Getting Started
Installing Your Phone
Charge the battery
The handset's rechargeable battery is already installed. Before you can
charge the battery, you have to activate it.
1. Remove the cardboard spacer.
2. Press the activation pin according to
the direction on the label.
3. Remove the label once the handset is activated.
Save the activation pin in case you need to change the
handset's activation status later (i.e., to deactivate the
handset when it will not be used for a long time)����������
. Use the
plastic activation pin or a blunt-tipped object like an uncurled
paper clip to press the activation toggle through the rubber
seal. Do not use a sharp object; sharp objects might puncture
the rubber seal and jeopardize the handset's waterproof
status.
4. Connect the AC adapter to the charger's AC IN 8V jack. (This
adapter might already be connected.)
. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard 120V AC power
outlet.
. Place the handset in the charger with the display facing forward.
The display on the handset should turn on.
If...
the display on
the handset
does not turn
on
Connect the TEL line jack to a standard telephone wall jack.
Test the connection
1. Pick up the handset from the cradle and press Talk/flash. You
should hear a dial tone and the display should say Talk.
 If you don't hear a dial tone or the display says Check Tel Line,
check the connection between the base and the phone jack.
2. Make a quick test call. (Press End to hang up.)
 If the tone doesn’t stop when you dial, try changing to pulse
dialing mode (see page 23).
 If there's a lot of noise or static on the call, see page 21 for tips
on avoiding interference.

and then clears.
Weak or hard to hear audio
If a caller’s voice sounds weak or soft, the signal might be blocked by
large metal objects or walls; you might also be too far from the base, or
the handset’s battery may be weak.
 Try moving around while you’re on a call or moving closer to the
base to see if the sound gets louder.
 Make sure the handset’s battery is fully charged.
 Try adjusting the earpiece volume.
Noise or static on the line
Interference is the most common cause of noise or static on a cordless
phone. Here are some common sources of interference:
 electrical appliances, especially microwave ovens
 computer equipment, especially wireless LAN equipment and DSL
modems
 radio-based wireless devices, such as room monitors, wireless
controllers, or wireless headphones or speakers
21


fluorescent light fixtures (especially if giving off a buzzing noise)
other services that use your phone line, like alarm systems,
intercom systems, or broadband Internet service
If static is on 1 handset or in 1
location:
If static is on all handsets or in
all locations:
- Check nearby for one of the
common interference sources.
- Try moving the handset away
from a suspected source, or try
moving the suspected source so
it’s not between the handset and
the base.
- There is always more noise at the
edges of the base’s range. If an
Out of Range message displays,
try moving closer to the base.
- Check near the base for the
source of interference.
- Try moving the base away from a
suspected source, or turn off the
source if possible.
- If the base has an adjustable
antenna, try raising the antenna
so it stands straight up.
- If you have any service that uses
the phone line, you might need a
filter (see following).
Installing a line filter or DSL filter
Sometimes, broadband Internet services that use the telephone line
can interfere with phones. One of these services−DSL−often causes
static on telephones. A DSL filter or telephone line filter usually solves
this problem. The technician who installed your DSL service might
have left some filters for you; if not, call your DSL provider or look in
any electronics store.
Plug the DSL filter into the telephone wall jack and plug your phone’s
base into the filter. Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.
Do you use a T-coil hearing aid?
- If you have a hearing aid equipped with a telecoil (T-coil) feature, the
interaction between the hearing aid and digital cordless phones can
cause noise in the handset. If you have a T-coil hearing aid and you have

Liquid damage
Moisture and liquid can damage your cordless phone. If the exterior
housing of the handset or base is exposed to moisture or liquid, wipe
off the liquid, and use as normal. If moisture or liquid is inside the
plastic housing (i.e. liquid can be heard in the phone or liquid has
entered the handset battery compartment or vent openings on the
base), follow these steps:
Handset
Base
- Remove the battery cover and
disconnect the battery.
- Let dry for at least 3 days with the
battery disconnected and the cover off
for ventilation.
- After the handset dries, reconnect the
battery and replace the cover. Recharge
the battery fully before using.
- Disconnect the AC
adapter to cut off the
power.
- Disconnect the
telephone cord.
- Let dry for at least
3 days before
reconnecting.
CAUTION! DO NOT use a microwave oven to speed up the
drying process. This will cause permanent damage to the
handset, base, and the microwave oven.
Changing from Tone to Pulse Dialing
Your phone communicates with the telephone network two ways: tone
dialing or pulse dialing. Most telephone companies use tone dialing. If
your phone company uses pulse dialing, you will need to change your
phone’s dial mode.
1. From a handset, open the menu and select Global Setup.
2. Select Dial Mode, then select Pulse. The phone sounds a
confirmation tone.
If you use pulse dialing and you need to send DTMF tones during a call
(if you’re using an automated response system, for example), press
to temporarily switch to tone dialing. When the call ends, the phone
automatically returns to pulse dialing mode.

alert. If you hear a strange beep during a call, check the display: if
you see the low battery alert, finish your conversation as quickly
as possible and return the handset to the cradle. If the handset is
in standby, none of the keys will operate.
With normal use, the battery should last about one year. Replace
the battery when the talk time becomes short even when the
battery is charged. To buy a replacement battery, call the Parts
